Why not? Subduction going down occurs are a single structure. So's
the spreading ridge a single structure. And so is each transform fault
a single structure. What is it about brittle continental crust that

You realise of course you are belittling Stuart's Googlie little friend

 I don't get any information on plate tectonics from google other than
the nonsense that's posted. Surely there's bound to be some nonsense
posted on what you're talking about.
